Details
convertLinks.php file is a maintenance script to convert the link table from the old links schema (string->ID) to the new schema (ID->ID). It is relevant during the migration from MediaWiki 1.4 or older to MediaWiki 1.5 or newer. The wiki should be put into read-only mode while this script executes.
Usage
| Option/Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| --logperformance | Log performance to perfLogFilename. Defaults to false. |
| --perfLogFilename | Filename where performance is logged if --logperformance was set (defaults to 'convLinksPerf.txt').
|
| --keep-links-table | Don't overwrite the old links table with the new one, leave the new table at links_temp.
|
| --nokeys | Don't create keys, and so allow duplicates in the new links table. This gives a huge speed improvement for very large links tables which are MyISAM. |
